she didn't have to necessarily endorse anyone, but like, majority of your fan base is young women. Putting out a tweet denouncing this piece of shit's behaviour would have been the bare minimum. and now after he "won" you wanna show your solidarity? fuck off

I saw a lot of dipshit comments on the Facebook page for my local newspaper. And sadly there were a lot of negative comments from other women as well. Like "I don't whine and use my gender to get what I want." Um? Not what this is about?

Love this so much. Watched it this afternoon. Loved that alicia keys was there and how she said a bit from maya angelou's poem, still i rise. Plus, i loved that so many minorities spoke. I liked the palestian woman's speech. They were all very good. Im so glad i watched this instead of watching the inauguration yesterday. Plus, i just read on bbc that the women's march turned out more ppl than trump's inauguration, when there was only an estimated 200,000 coming. No way! God bless.

I really enjoyed the Palestinian's speech, too. There was a lot of information in not only what she said, but how she said. The self-pride is such a strong message, especially for young Palestinian-American women. So many speakers from so many different levels of society. I was blown away at the solidarity and calls to action.

I wish I could have went but I have really bad anxiety in crowds. I feel like I'm missing out on something I want to be a part of and it depresses me. I'm so happy the turn out is so high to make up for women like me with anxiety or other disabilities who couldn't go. <3

I saw so many signs saying that the person holding them was marching for all of the women who can't be there. I think we all were. And you were right to stay home if you are not good in crowds - I'm not either and I was getting a bit panicked at times.

yeah i always feel super anxious about going to this sort of event, esp since i always go alone (my one local non-work friend is someone who doesn't give a shit about any of this, smh). i really only decided last night bc i figured i'd regret it if i didn't. then i woke up this morning and almost decided to back out, but i had already spent way too much money on art supplies to make a terrible poster, and i was not about to let my flop sign go to waste!

but don't worry, i'm sure tr*mp will give us plenty of reasons over the next 4 years to mobilize and protest.

don't feel bad! i carpooled with some friends and my anxiety got so bad that i almost jumped out of the van when we were about to pull out of the driveway. but i did deep breathing and though i was kind of freaking out at first, the energy of the crowd was great and i felt better once we started marching.

but had i not been in a van with other people, i might have let my anxiety get the better of me and stayed home. so i know where you're coming from <3

i get major crowd anxiety but moving to an urban center has made me confront it. just a suggestion, but maybe next time (as the other poster said i think there will be many more opportunities) arrange to get to the event early before it's super packed, and leave whenever it gets to be too much; that way you've at least have attended.

i hope to go next time! i didn't know sydney was doing a march and i would've liked to have roped a friend or two to go with me. but don't be so hard on yourself; crowds can be overwhelming and there's a LOT of people there. you can be a powerful voice just by talking about it.

I have specific types of crowds I"m not good in, and this one tested everything. I was in DC and at 7th and Independence. I'm hurting today because I got crammed in because people wouldn't accept that there wasn't room to move (they really just wanted to see the Jumbotron and kept pushing past me, then stopping, so I ended up shoved up against strangers at weird angles). For the most part it was a great experience, but there were just some people who were bad in crowds (shoving - I may have yelled at the worst pushers, since they shoved me bodily into an older woman). But it was made better by those that were great, like people who formed chains to get people out of the crowd when they had medical emergencies.
